Thankyou Galen and Will for your reply.I tried your suggestions but didnt
have any luck.I did try a suggestion from another post when I did a search
for "unmountable boot volume" in the Hardware News Group. George pointed me
to a link that suggested that I take the suspect harddrive out and swap it
with one on a good system.Well I exchanged the harddrive into a system
exactly the same and what happened was at least this time it tried to
boot.But I received a message at the bottom telling me to boot from disk.So I
did this and ran chkdsk /r and after that the harddrive booted no problem,the
system up and running.Well now I switched the drive back into the old system
and it wont boot and I cant run the recovery console after entering "1'', it
just does nothing.Does this mean there's something wrong with the MB or some
other thing in the bad system??As a note I also tried to run a hard drive
diagnostic tool -PowerMax- but it exited right away stating "Exiting due to
SIGFPE floating point exception!!! Whatever that means!!! Any advice is
greatly apprieciated again.Thankyou for your time and patience.
